Our eye and vision research helps us see into the future

We are home to one of the leading vision science programs in the world, with more than a dozen research labs and sought-after faculty who are writing the textbooks other schools teach.

Our researchers are leaders in the areas of cornea disorders, retinal disease, traumatic brain injury, pediatric vision, and more. Their work results not only in a high reputation for the school, but in better educated students and quality patient care.

Expert collaborators

Our vision scientists collaborate with schools and departments across the university and the world.

In addition to optometry, our work includes the study of biochemistry, biophysics, epidemiology, cell biology, imaging, molecular biology, neuroscience, optics, ophthalmology, pathology, physiology, psychology, psychophysics, statistics, and any other discipline that relates to vision and its problems.

Work with faculty in vision research

The Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research supports the research endeavors of the School of Optometry. Specifically, it welcomes collaborative partners from private practice, universities, industry, and private agencies to join together to work on important questions related to vision science. The Borish Center also provides exciting research opportunities for students to participate directly with faculty in vision research.
